But yea that's the point of the policy
Russia should just run right over Turkey since we're just going to stand there like jackasses.
We need shit from Turkey i.e. a NATO position in the east
Seriously, what are we paying our troops for right now?
But we need the Kurds to fight ISIS and Syria
And uh
Force projection
Idfk
I know they do things
As there is always work to be done in the military
So...we're paying our military to exist?
A lot of fucking work.
Well we perpetuate it's existence
Even if we were in no war
The military and politics need to be separated.
The state would still keep it up as a security apparatus
As the majority of states do
As they should, however, why bother having deployed troops if we won't act?
Well we are acting lol
How so?
The entire point of our being out there
Is training these nontraditional forces
It was initially a coalition against ISIS, before that the taliban,
Before that it was work against Russia
Yeah, but now ISIS is gone.
So...what the fuck are we doing?
It isnt gone though
Its just no longer stable enough to pretend it's some standing army
With a nation
They're still fighting, then there is the fighting within Syria
Then this would be the best time to act.
Between the government and opposition
Its the worst time to act, Assad essentially won in Syria
The war is winding down
It wound down completely...then recently picked up.
Russia wont need to be there if we stop supporting random guerrilla fighters
All while we refuse to take sides.
Which we have
We still are.
At this rate, we may accidentally support ISIS.
